The goal of SAVIN is to create a notification system that will benefit crime victims and those that serve them. The South Dakota SAVIN System is a free, automated service that provides crime victims with vital information and notification 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This service will allow victims to obtain offender information and to register for notification of a change in offender status. Such information may include important hearing, trial or sentencing dates, as well as changes in bond conditions or release from custody.

“Serving victims of crime should remain a top priority in our State. The SAVIN System will help inform and protect victims by making offender information readily available,” said Jackley. “SAVIN will also foster greater transparency within the criminal proceedings by making public information more accessible,” said Jackley.

The following were members of the advisory commission that oversaw the implementation of the SAVIN System:

I also agree with Porter and am concerned that Jackley is choosing to be silent on Marsy’s law while all of the States attorneys are coming out against it. It reminds me of his support on the criminal justice reform that all of the states attorneys hate. Now he’s opposed to it.

He needs to show that he can be tough and have an opinion that might ruffle some of his supporters feathers.
